A floundering baseball team experiences a steady winning streak after robot pitcher Casey (a likable performance by Robert Sorrells) gets added to the team.
Directors Alvin Ganzer and Robert Parrish keep the enjoyable story moving along at a brisk pace as well as maintain an amiable lighthearted tone throughout. Rod Serling's sweet script makes an amusing point about how having a heart in turn gives a person too much compassion and hence blunts one's competitive edge. The sturdy acting by the game cast helps a lot: Jack Warden as gruff manager Mouth McGarry, Abraham Sofaer as friendly scientist Dr. Stillman, Alan Dexter as greedy jerk team owner Beasley, and Don Kelly as eager shortstop Monk. The goofy sound effects further add to the overall infectiously silly charm. A cute show.
